Science in Mahabharata - Page 2

Quite interesting to think.

And the book also makes the observation that probably Kunti's Mantra to call the Gods could be simply a mobile phone.

It's fascinating to think about those things.😊

This I think is way too much an over exaggeration

Not related

Sorry VBs delete my comment if you find irrelevant

But I actually saw in a YouTube video, there were some white guys discussing Gaduda, and he concluded that it was a machine, metallic machine and the Naga's with which they fought were actually pipes through which the machine was fueled

Probably. The book was mainly on the premise that the Gods of Heaven like Indra, Surya were aliens from another advanced Galaxy and tried to establish their progeny on the earth ( the Pandavas) as rulers.

So in this particular assumption, it makes sense that they would take the Mantra to be a cell phone.

It's a little too much but the read was interesting as they examined the same premise in other civilizations like Mesopotamia too.

All this new info here, is soo exciting!

And I think when Sanjay gave Live updates of the Kurukshetra battle to Dhritarashtra..he used television .

I don't think he gave live updates. He saw a few days' worth of the war first and then came and then Dhrity had a story time.

Like, the Bhishma kanda begins with Sanjay giving Dhrity the bad news that Bhishma has fallen. Then Dhrity asks how, and Sanjay starts telling him from the Bhagwad Geeta part. 😆

I guess Karna's kawach is similar to today's bullet proof jackets

Kawatch is exactly that. That has been there in known history of India too (like Chandragupta Maurya's time) many in Mahabharata used that

But Karna was born with it

Kavach was like bullet proof, but how was Karna born with it, was it just an interpolation and he actually got the kavach under parasuram

Karna's kawach I get it bulletproof, but what purpose did his earrings serve?
